With Voice Over, an Audience Can Be Anywhere

Click to Play Grimms Fairytale - The Elves & the Shoemaker.

As part of film production, training, coaching, and various learning projects, I've used my voice to tell stories, offer direction, or simply explain how to succeed as a participant. The more creative work of voice over has allowed me to create stories such as the audio story, "The Elves & The Shoemaker​" by the Brothers Grimm. Not only did I create the soundscape, I crafted voices for characters and worked to bring an entire world to life in just a few minutes. The most heartwarming feedback came from a friend with two young children. She said her kiddos listened to the story more than a dozen times over the weekend, and laughed along every time.
